Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the United Netherlands, Vol. 3 of 4: From the Death of William the Silent to the Synod of Dort, With a Full View of the English-Dutch Struggle Against Spain, and of the Origin and Destruction of the Spanish Armada It will be seen that a change has been made in the epoch at which it was originally meant to close this work. Instead of going on with the exclusive history of the Netherlands until the synod of Dort, the author has thought it more strictly in accordance with his general plan, as well as more convenient for the reader, to pause with the narrative at the point of time when the Republic was formally admitted into the family of nations by the treaty of twelve years Truce, and when its independence was virtually admitted by Spain. The history of the Thirty Years´ War, with which the renewed conflict between the Dutch Commonwealth and the Spanish Monarchy was blended, until the termination of the great European struggle by the peace of Westphalia, involves all the most important episodes in the progress of the Netherlands until the year 1648. Upon this history, which is the natural complement to his two works - "The Rise of the Dutch Republic" and "The History of the United Netherlands," - the author is now engaged, and he hopes at a future day to ask for it the indulgence which has been generously accorded to its predecessors.
